Abstract

Advances in dentistry, as well as the increased desire of patients to maintain their dentition, have lead to treatment of teeth that once would have been removed. The treatment, management and long-term retention of mandibular molar teeth exhibiting furcation involvement always have been a challenge, especially when the furcation involvement has progressed to a class III furcation. Hemi-section of the affected tooth helps preserve the tooth structure. This case report describes a simple procedure for hemisection in mandibular molar having advance grade III furcation involvement by vertical cut method and its subsequent restoration.
